Hopefully they can actually take their time to expand this franchise past the OT and the Skywalkers. Give me all brand new stories.
Man watchmen must be one the worst shows on air right now, if we go by user metrics.Audience hate is not minority imo. No matter wht forums i go to beside this its disliked. Audience score is the lowest for any SW main films in RT. Low score on IMDB for a SW movie. TLJ critic videos have millions of views on youtube with tremendous like to dislike ratio. Most audience especially old SW fans imo hate that movie and rightfully so. Its nothing but some nonsense.
Disney have made it clear they want Star Wars only occupying Christmas slots ever since Solo bombed.
They literally delayed all the Avatar sequels to service this idea of staking out Xmas slots for at least 7 consecutive years.
That is the hiatus.Are we sure that by "hiatus" he doesn't simply mean "no new movies until December 2022"?
I don't know. I don't have specific complaints about 7/8 but they just left me wanting something else. 4-6 while nothing along the lines of 1-3 still had that SW feel to them, for me. It's hard to explain when I try to really dissect it but these new films just feel very different. Not terrible different, just different. So much so that 9 will be the first Star Wars film I won't see in the theater. I just have no desire to deal with the cost or lines and will gladly wait until it's out on Blu-Ray.Probably because the prequels gave you three disjointed stories that take place at completely different time period of the same person and then skipped all the legwork you buidl character relationships due to timeskips. Compared to now where we're getting complete character arcs and well written stories. đź‘€ Hard to imagine more of the ST, you know, what with it being a complete story.
It doesn't matter what anyone outside Disney thinks.
Basic PnL will drive Disney to steer clear of May when 3/4 (and soon to be 4/5) movies that they released in December hit a billion+.
I'm sure they can fast track something original for 2022, especially if it is a one off like the trades seem to imply it will be.I don't think they can hit December 2022 period. Now that D&D are out they're gonna bring in someone new (Fiege/Favreau is my guess), and that's going to set the project back at least six months.
By the time another SW film releases, 9-10 more MCU films will have released.
Favreau is busy doing mando season 2.. and the animated show he is doing with Filoni.I don't think they can hit December 2022 period. Now that D&D are out they're gonna bring in someone new (Fiege/Favreau is my guess), and that's going to set the project back at least six months.
Well by all reports Avatar 2/3 were well on track for 20/21.It's not as if they're sitting on a pile of finished Avatar movies that are getting sidelined for Star Wars. If Avatar 2 and 3 were ready or near ready to go, Disney could still drop them in 2020 and 21. But this being Avatar and James Cameron I'll guess that that's not the case lol.
Given how many times Avatar 2 kept falling back one year after another, the idea of Cameron releasing back to back movies in '20/21 and '24/25 didn't seem very realistic anyway
That is the hiatus.
Three years from start to finish is a pretty usual amount of time for a blockbuster. Maybe even above average. D&D only started work on their Star Wars this past summer and hadn't written more than a treatment before leaving.I'm skeptical they can hit December 2022 if they're starting from scratch here.
JJ Abrams was put on Star Wars in Jan 2013 and still the project was very rushed for Dec 2015 and they used large chunks of the story concept Arndt/Lucas had already laid out.
Dec 2022 would've been the date for D&D's trilogy, but that pre-assumes they already had a story/script concept well into a phase were some kind of pre-production could be underway.
I mean do they even have a story concept that's fleshed out? They better not rush that aspect of it.
Why you treating your fandom like sports tho?By the time another SW film releases, 9-10 more MCU films will have released.
I find that interesting.

In any event, I guess it's a good thing Rian Johnson has been noodling his trilogy for a while!
I find that interesting.
Bob Iger has not prioritized SW theatrical films over Marvel one to the tune of 9-10 to 0 in a 3 year period.
Are all the Rock movies being greenlit by Bob Iger?The Rock will also have 9 films between now and 2023, it's about as relevant.
That's a bummer. I've really been enjoying the over-saturation, personally.
The CEO of the company that owns both properties, SW and Marvel, has decided that he will get 9-10 movies from 1 property and put the other on hiatus for 3 years.Like who cares? Your whole bit about Star Wars must be the only franchise people care about or something is wrong with the universe is stupid to begin with. So what if Marvel is having a great run right now and is the top dog.
If they were on track for 20/21, then they could still be released in 20/21. There was never any Star Wars announced for anything sooner than December 2022 so if 2 and 3 were ready to drop in the next couple years they still would be. Especially since Disney really has fuck all lined up for next Christmas. The fact they're sticking with Avatar 2 for 2021 makes me think Cameron is actually not on track to deliver a movie on time...surprising as that may be :PWell by all reports Avatar 2/3 were well on track for 20/21.
They finished all the mocap shooting (which comprises 90% of the films) back in August of 2018 for 2, 3 and part of 4. Footage was delivered to WETA in '18. They would have had more than 2 years of post production time for Avatar 2.
They're also about to wrap their live action shooting block for 2/3 and part of 4 as well.
Star Wars has never been planned out as a series in advance (and any plans that were were later dropped or drastically redone by the time production on later movies got started anyway). Star Wars may carry a lot more cultural cache than your average blockbuster, but at the end of the day it's still a movie that requires no more or less amount of time to make than other movies of a similar scope -- including other Star Wars films, which, before Disney, were also made on three-year intervals.Problem with that is Star Wars isn't your average blockbuster and if they're planning for a series it requires likely a significantly larger amount of time to figure out what you're doing for three films, not just one. That's one of the problems with the current trilogy.

That is what happened, man.
That is why it is relevant and not the same as The Rock or Vin Diesel or whoever else you want to roll out as bad example.
2021. It films next summer, so maybe will be out the following summer.Does Obi-Wan have any release date in mind?
Best to give the movies a rest. Lest the shows fill the gap.
Filming is suppose to start in the summer so expect a 2021 release.Does Obi-Wan have any release date in mind?

I find it interesting that Iger feels he can go 3 years without 1 property and not the other.
I stating facts and they are upsetting you to the point that you are creating sports analogies to create a narrative.Because Star Wars can't handle being a multi-film per year franchise. This isn't pro sports where these are competing "teams" like you like to build it up as.

Was Iger the CEO of Disney for 50 years?
Then maybe it is to a lot of viewers. I enjoyed it but that doesn't mean everyone like it. Maybe majority don't like it.Man watchmen must be one the worst shows on air right now, if we go by user metrics.
LOL.
It's always been that.For the best, I hate how they're trying to make it a cinematic universe
The only thing Solo proved was that people aren't interested in a so-so Solo movie that doesn't star the OG Han Solo or at least someone people had previously grown to like as a young Solo before pushing a big movie starring him (i.e. Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan who is now getting a hyped/positively received Disney+ show because people really took to his portrayal in 3 previous (shitty, even) movies).Thats probably a good thing. They tried to give us too much starwars at once and solo proved that audiences have a limit. One movie every few years is fine, we dont need one or two starwars films every year
It's hilarious. You keep trying to justify the CEO taking SW off the schedule for 3 years with "cause it's not Marvel".
